Sun 'Slowaris' problems with Java

Java is famous for bringing PCs to their knees, but it seems the problems are even worse at Sun Microsystems, which invented the Java language. The Inquirer reckons a Java bug was only just fixed before the release of Solaris 9 (Sun's Unix), and that "details of 'unfixable' bugs in Java [are] circulating within the company". On Tuesday, The Inquirer ran a story on the Java/Slowaris problem quoting "an insider" saying: "It strikes me as hypocritical for Sun to blame Microsoft for any failure of the Java platform when Sun's own engineers find developing common software applications in Java impractical".
